## Description

Turn aerodynamic ideas into performance!

We're looking for a talented Design Engineer with experience in Formula 1 or motorsport aerodynamic surfacing to help develop high-quality aerodynamic geometry for CFD, wind tunnel testing and race car development.

Working closely with Aerodynamicists and other engineering specialists, you'll translate aerodynamic concepts into accurate, high-quality surface models that support the ongoing development of our car.

This is an opportunity to make a direct contribution to car performance, working alongside talented engineers to develop aerodynamic solutions that help drive Aston Martin Aramco's ambition to challenge at the front of the grid.

**Key Responsibilities**

- Deliver aerodynamic surfacing projects from concept through to release, including modelling, validation and documentation.

- Develop accurate, high-quality surface models for CFD, wind tunnel testing and race car application.

- Work closely with Aerodynamicists to develop design concepts and contribute to aerodynamic development strategies.

- Support aero development programmes, identifying opportunities to improve model quality, accuracy and test efficiency.

- Contribute to parametric modelling strategies, surfacing methodologies and continuous improvement of design tools and workflows.

- Identify technical risks and design opportunities, communicating progress and solutions to senior designers.

- Apply sound engineering judgement to ensure designs meet technical requirements, quality standards and programme deadlines.

**Skills, Knowledge & Expertise**

- A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

- Strong 3D CAD and surface modelling skills, ideally including CATIA.

- Experience in Formula 1 or motorsport aerodynamic surfacing, ideally supporting wind tunnel, CFD or race car development programmes.

- A strong understanding of aerodynamic development and the interfaces between surfacing, CFD and wind tunnel testing.

- Familiarity with FIA technical regulations and legality requirements.

- Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills and the ability to deliver accurate, high-quality work under pressure.

- Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

- A proactive, adaptable mindset with a genuine interest in aerodynamic performance and continuous improvement.

**Benefits**

- Competitive package, including a discretionary bonus scheme, private healthcare, pension plan, life assurance, TEDSgroup childcare benefits, a cycle-to-work scheme, tech scheme, and car scheme.

- Access to state-of-the-art facilities at the AMR Technology Campus, featuring a new on-site gym with fitness, spin and yoga classes, a bistro café, and restaurant.
